George Chadwell
George—affectionately known as Geo by his friends—brings a lifetime of wisdom and a heart ignited by purpose. A dedicated practitioner and generous teacher, he is deeply inspired by the philosophy and passion of yoga. As a loving husband, father, and grandfather, Geo leads with compassion and integrity.

Shelly may be quiet, but don’t mistake that for having nothing to say. She speaks with intention—every word counts. When Shelly shares from the heart, it feels like a deep, grounding exhale. She has a heart of gold, and her words linger with you long after you’ve left her class. Shelly holds herself to a high standard, and by the time you walk out her door, you find yourself standing a little taller, inspired by her quiet strength and unwavering presence.
Katy Wilson
Katie is quirky, funny, and full of Aries fire—you feel her passion the moment you meet her. She cares deeply for all beings, from humans to her beloved pack of dogs. When she’s not on her mat, she’s likely logging 30+ miles on a trail or backcountry skiing in remote wilderness.
Katie has been practicing yoga for over half her life, evolving through many phases—using it to ease anxiety, chronic pain, build strength, find connection, and now, as a path inward toward self-love. She understands yoga as both a tool and a journey, and she meets others wherever they are on their path. As an avid mountain adventurer—ultrarunner, climber, skier, and paddleboarder—Katie’s practice supports her physically, mentally, and yes, helps with those stubbornly tight hips.
Henry McGregor
Henry is a true Leo—radiating confidence and rocking his signature lion-like locks. He’s an artist to his core, creating from a place of deep soul and passion. His classes are more than just movement; they’re experiences. You’ll leave dancing to your car, snapping your fingers, and singing all the way home. With Henry, all you need to do is trust—the magic always follows.

You’ll leave her class feeling more connected—to yourself and the world around you.
Lisa Chadwell
Anjali took her first yoga teacher training in 2009 with no plans to teach — but when asked to audition for a class, she said yes. Despite her nerves, she knew she’d found her path. Since then, she’s completed multiple trainings, traveled to India, opened two studios, studied Vedic Astrology, and led retreats and teacher trainings. Though her journey recently brought her back to her roots as a psychologist, Anjali is excited to return to teaching yoga. She’s passionate about creating uplifting, present-moment experiences with her students. Her vinyasa classes weave together breathwork, mantra, and kriya. If you’re ready to explore, she’d love to see you in class!
